There are many steps once your NOA2 is approved.

Here's the basic outline of our journey so far as April filers.

April 4th PD Vermont service center.

NOA2 Approval July 10.

NVC case number assigned August 6.

8-12 AOS & IV fees paid & posted as paid

8-20 AOS packet received

8-29 DS-260 filed, completed, submitted out online

Still have to mail in IV packet, waiting on receiving my husbands original BC he's mailing this week.

Each of the NVC steps are now taking 60 calendar days to process.

So we are stil waiting to hear about our AOS packet. If you thought waiting for USCIS was bad, wait until NVC. It's way more frustrating & just as slow, if not slower.

Congratulations to all the new April filers for their approvals! ???

Oh dear... Gratz to all of you! My noa1 date is April 7th ... Hope it is coming next week! So what is the next step now?

Did you call NVC to have your case number?

What does AOS and IV stand for?

You have to wait for the packet to arrive in order to file DS-260?

You make me want to see a lawyer to get all that straight!

Thank you for your help :) When do you think you could get an interview?

Yes I called to get the case number. No idea when we will have our interview it depends if we receive check lists or not. We are praying by November. I've helped my lawyer a lot with the process, mostly by reading all the information I can. This link outlines the NVC stage & what's next:

It's a lot, patience is key in this heart wrenching process.

Just to be sure... you have to call them to get your case number? this is so weird... so what you call 2-3 weeks after NOA2? otherwise they wont give it to you?

No, you get an email from NVC with the case number and information, but what people did is call after 2-3 weeks to get it a little before receiving the email. I heard that this doesn't work anymore, because now you can only log into the system once you've received the email. -_- I suppose I'll still give it a try after 3 weeks, though.
